PLAN-DO-REWIEW

(Tinning 1993)…..Methods can be viewed not as a set of strategies…………..

Mosston and Ashworth (teaching style continuum)

Kirk distilled Mosstons spectrum into five methods:

Directive-Coach in control, yet can limit participant

Task-Designed by the coach, again coach mainly in control

Reciprocal- Requires athletes to work and support each other and provide feedback, designed to the needs of the performer

Guided discovery-Athletes are encouraged to become more independent from the coach. The coach should ask questions of the performer in order to initiate problem solving

Problem solving- Coach provides little input, performers might need to take risks

STEP:

Key drivers that influence chosen coaching method:

·         Previous experiences

·         Limited knowledge and lack of experience

·         Age of the group

·         Ability of the group

·         Resources

·         Numbers

·         Gender

·         Type of sport

·         Motivation of the group

 

Personal skills and characteristics         values and beliefs           Philosophy

*Whole part whole- start with the game, then break it down into individual techniques improve something then relate it back into the game- short term better.

*TGFU model of learning, deliver the whole skills, problems are highlighted first before technique as you have an understanding, and thus problem solving needed to eradicate the problems. Long term better

*(Take a look at diagrams blackboard/google)*
